DID YOU SEE MARK?

摘要

Like many homeless young people that come to Centrepoint. Mark is used to being ignored. Caught in the crossfire of abusive parents as a child, the only attention he ever got was when they turned their anger on him. Bullied mercilessly at school, he soon fell out of education. "I was 14,I didn't know how to cope with the isolation. I followed my parents' example. I turned to alcohol as a prop." For a while Mark beat the odds. He got a job as a trainee chef and his prospects looked brighter. But things at home got tougher, and his alcohol dependence worsened. When his parents finally separated, they said he was surplus to reguirements. With nowhere else to go, he spent his first night on the streets.
